The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has a serious appetite for science fiction films in February, as it launches its "To Infinity: Space Travel In The Movies" series just as Artemis 2 is about to take four astronauts for a trip around the moon and back sometime next month (hopefully).

Their month-long screening lineup runs from Jan. 30 to Feb. 28 and spotlights "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," "The Right Stuff," "Solaris," "High Life," "Sunshine," "Apollo 13," "Contact," and "Interstellar." Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster and astrophysicist Nivedita Mahesh will attend the 35mm screening of "Contact" on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026.
